6 Heppner Gazette Times, May 20, 1943 AT WTHE NPiBfL m IRRIGON NEWS WASHINGTON, D. C, May 20 Loggers, miners and others who are engaged in the hardest kind of manual labor will get not an ounce of additional meat, according to Mrs. Phillip Crowlie, employed by the Washington, D. C, office of OPA. Mrs. Crowlie, who is rated by OPA as a "typical housewife consultant," recently spent one full day in Portland investigatig the re quest of loggers, miners and others employed in the heavy industries for an extra allotment of meat. "It would be unwise to grant these men any extra allotments of meat," said Mrs. Crowlie, when interview ed here a few days ago. "I have just returned from a plane trip to Oregon at which time I investigat ed the request for extra meat ra tions for loggers, miners, and others. They must learn to change their eating habits, and the wives of these men must make adjustments in their cooking," said the lady "ex pert" on the subject. So, there you have one of the numerous reasons why so many people would like to shoot some of these OPA experts who are sitting in the driver's seat and giving orders on subjects they know nothing about. Any schoolboy would know that men working in heavy industry need and must have more meat than the pitiful amount they are allowed if they are to con tinue in their work. There seems to be very little possibility that any of the west coast Japanese new in relocation centers will be returned to west ern Oregon for farm work. Amer ican Legion posts have new joined with the grange and farmers union in protesting such action by any agency of the government and their protests are being received by members of the Oregon congres sional delegation. The Oregon state grange was first to file an official protest and its action was closely followed by the farmers union. Last week similar protests were received from American Legion posts, further indicating the inten sity of the anti-Japanese sentiment. Starting early is a bill author-' izing the construction of a dam at Umatilla in the Columbia river be tween Oregon and Washington. It is S. 348. Of the various projects for power dams in the Columbia Umatilla was the first proposed and was the subject of congression al hearings. Later a start was made at Bonneville and the Grand Coulee dam came into being, but engineers have always contended that Umatilla is a natural site for a dam and fits into the develop ment of the river. An argument for the Umatilla dam is that it would provide a suitable waterway for produce from Grand Coulee farms when that- reclamation project ma terializes. Action on the Umatilla dam will be determined largely on the availibility of material for con struction of the dam and this, in turn, on the length of the war. Members of some of the ration ing boards are writing in and pro testing that they are giving more of their time than they can afford and suggesting that a different group or panel be appointed to handle each separate item, such as meat, gasoline, fuel oil and other commodities as are to be rationed later. By expansion of the panels the work would be simplified and not all loaded on the backs of the original rationing boards. Cloakroom gossips now propose that one billion dollars be made available for construction of high ways after the war, when Johnny By MBS. J. A.

Shoun home. comes marching home and wants a job istanter. A few senators sug gest a larger sum. Eastern members are insisting that the money should be allocated on the basis of popula tion, which would give the thickly settled east the lion's share of the funds. The present method of dis tributing road money is based on population, area and postroads, and these three factors provide an equitable portion of the money to each of the western states, which are distinguished for their area and miles of . postroads, if small popu lations. The northwest states, out of one billion dollars, might each con ceivably receive $30,000,000; possib ly more. It is estimated that one-half bil lion pounds of cheese will be ac quired in 1943 for the armed forces and for lend lease. Another esti mate is that Herbert H. Lehman, director of relief and rehabilitation, will want 100,000,000 pounds of cheddar when he starts feeding the hungry mouths in the reconquered countries. This alone would account for more than half the total ched dar production, providing the out put this year is as large as it was in 1942. One government agency, however, states that 50 percent of the total output will be taken by the fighting men and lend-lease. The government estimates are al ways subject to revision these days whether the need is for aluminum, steel, rubber or evaporated milk.
